THE TOWN OF LINCOLN. LINCOLN DISTRICT. TOWNSHIP IN THE LARGEST AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT IN THE PROVINCE. MESSRS. J. OLLIVIER & SON have been Invored with instructions to sell by Public Auction, at their Rooms, Cashel and High streets, on an early date, The Quarter-Acre Sections applied for in the TOWNSHIP OF LINCOLN. When tho Canterbury Settlement was first laid out by_ Capt. Thomas, a site was set apart for a town in that large and rich agricultural district which lies in the angle between Banks Peninsula and Lake Ellesmere. The Government having abandoned the intention of making a town for this district, and. the necessity for a town becoming daily more apparent as the country becomes peopled and occupied, the original plan of Captain Thomas has been revised and the town of Lincoln is now laid out and offered for sale by private proprietors. # The site of the town of Lincoln as now laid out differing somewhat from that originally proposed, is on the banks of a stream known as No. 1 Gully, running from trig, pole 1 in the Lincoln district <fctoward» the Peninsula hills. It is situated on good dry land lying on both sides of the valley, which is at this place about twenty feet deep, having a beautiful stream of clear and delicious water running rapidly at the bottom. Two public roads meet at the stream, and join into one at the bridge, which will form a handsome object in the centre of the town, having clustered around it the reserves for churches, schools, market place and court house. A broad terrace is carried down each side of the stream, and the whole of the slope on both sides of the water, comprising about eight acres, will be set apart for ever as public gardens for the use and enjoyment of the inhabitants. At a very short distance below the town a flour mill will shortly be erected on the same stream. Such is the extent of land already in cultivation in the neighbourhood, and so rapidly are fresh farms being occupied, that blacksmiths and other mechanics would already find an excellent opening for business, while a country inn, a store, a butcher's and a baker's shop, would also find abundant custom. The close neighbourhood of the mill will create a good market for flour in the town. But above all, this town will be amply supplied with firewood and building materials: the Lower Lincoln road, which runs though the centre of the town, passes through the swamp, and crossing the river Halswell, reaches the base of the hills at about three miles distance from Lincoln, which is thus placed within four miles of the extensive forests of the Peninsula. The money for opening this road is already voted, and the work is about to be undertaken immediately by the Government. It may be added that the Little River railway about to be commenced, will run a little more than a mile from Lincoln, so that a short branch line will connect it with the forests of Little River on the one side and with the market in the City of Christchurch on the other. It may 'be said that no site can be found in the whole of this large district which contains the same advantages of dry healthy situation, rising well above the swamp, excellent water and abundant supply of fuel and building materials, and which lies iu the main thoroughfare through the PRINCIPAL AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT in the Piovince. Upset Pbice £12 ieb Quaetee-Acee. Lots applied for will be submitted to Public Auction from time to time, and if there is no further advance, will be declared sold to the applicant.
